Trivia

On the show, the actual ages of each of the characters are the following: Brad is 11, Randy is 10 and Mark is 6. The oldest brother Brad, is thirteen months older than the second brother, Randy. However, in reality, Zachery Ty Bryan was 10, Jonathon Taylor Thomas was 10, and Taran Noah Smith was 7. Jonathan Taylor Thomas, who played Randy, is older by a month and a day than Zachery Ty Bryan, who played the eldest brother, Brad. Since Bryan was considerably taller than Thomas, it gave the illusion that he could be passed off as the older brother. In later seasons, Taran Noah Smith, who played Mark, the youngest brother, had a height advantage over Thomas. See more »

User Reviews

Home Improvement ranks at #1 of my all-time favorite shows ever. I have seen every episode of the show at least 10 times and I never get tired of them. Tim Allen is very funny in this show, and I will forever be a huge fan of his because of this show. The show had an excellent cast and they had great chemistry. This show would still be as good if it were still on the air, but unfortunately, Earl Hindman passed away in late 2003, a man whose character, Wilson, helped drive the show. There was never a show before this of this level of entertainment, and there will never be one like it again. Many of the people that I know always talk about how good this show is. This is a show that I hope will be played in reruns for many years to come.
